if you consider Scandinavia as refering to the Nordics then Estonian has quite a bit of English speakers

I consider Scandinavia as Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, since that’s what Scandinavia is. I’m not speaking of only Scandinavia to exclude the other Nordic countries, though, just because I know a lot less about the other Nordic countries vis a vis their language abilities 🀷

Except for the fun fact that Estonia is the only country outside of the Kingdom of Denmark that teaches Danish as a mandatory subject in school 😁

Pretty sure. Supposedly it started because of an old legend about the origins of Dannebrog and became tradition. Why, have you found another one? πŸ˜›
